[0031] For those skilled in the art, the utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the utility model by showing examples of the utility model.

[0032] Traditional passive vibration control does not require external energy, the device is simple, easy to implement, has energy loss characteristics, and is economical and reliable, and the damping effect is satisfactory in many cases. However, passive vibration control lacks flexibility, and the increase in damping of the structure under weight and other constraints is also limited, and in some cases, it may even have the opposite effect. In addition, passive vibration isolation can have good effect on high-frequency vibration, but the control effect on low-frequency vibration is limited.

[0033] Active vibration isolation has strong self-adaptive ability and good low-frequency vibration isolation performance, and can quickly suppress vibration. However, active control is relatively complex in engineering, difficult to implement, and has high production cost. At present, there is an urgent need for wideband and fast vibration suppression in aerospace, and the existing vibration isolation structure cannot meet the requirements of wideband and fast vibration suppression. Based on this, the utility model provides a vibration isolator which integrates active vibration suppression and passive vibration suppression.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 , the utility model provides a kind of vibration isolator, at least including viscous damping vibration ring 1, support ring outer ring 2, support ring inner ring 3, acquisition unit 4 and actuating unit 5.Viscous damping vibration ring 1 is fixedly arranged between support ring outer ring 2 and support ring inner ring 3, is connected by epoxy resin, to ensure that viscous damping vibration ring, support ring inner ring and support ring outer ring realize vibration transmission. Acquisition unit 4 is arranged in support ring inner ring 3, for collecting the vibration signal of support ring inner ring 3. Actuating unit 5 is arranged in support ring outer ring 2, for driving support ring outer ring 2 to occur and vibration signal reverse phase deformation.

[0035] Specifically, acquisition unit 4 is connected with actuating unit 5 in communication by control unit 6, when vibration occurs, acquisition unit 4 obtains the vibration signal of support ring inner ring 3 and then feedback to control unit 6, control unit 6 sends action instruction to actuating unit 5 according to control algorithm, so that actuating unit 5 drives support ring outer ring 2 to produce and vibration reverse phase deformation, to offset vibration and realize active vibration suppression.

[0036] Among them, support ring outer ring and support ring inner ring mainly play the role of supporting viscous damping vibration ring, and are also the carrier structure of viscous damping vibration ring, acquisition unit and actuating unit.

[0037] In the above embodiment, viscous damping vibration ring is mainly made of silicone rubber material, and its damping loss factor is greater than 0.1. It is placed between support ring inner ring and support ring outer ring to form a constraint damping structure. Under the action of vibration load, support ring inner ring and support ring outer ring bend and deform, so that the viscous damping structure layer shears and bends and deforms, and generates damping force.

[0038] Also referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in one embodiment, acquisition unit 4 includes a plurality of piezoelectric fiber sensors 41 uniformly distributed on support ring inner ring 3, and actuating unit 5 includes a plurality of piezoelectric fiber actuators 51 uniformly distributed on support ring outer ring 2. Piezoelectric fiber actuators 51 and piezoelectric fiber sensors 41 belong to piezoelectric driving devices, have high flexibility, and can be fixedly arranged on the circular arc surface of support ring inner ring 3 and support ring outer ring 2. Figure 2As shown, the length direction of the piezoelectric fiber actuator 51 and the piezoelectric fiber sensor 41 can be substantially consistent with the axial direction of the support ring inner ring 3 and the support ring outer ring 2 respectively.

[0039] The piezoelectric fiber sensor is of P2 type, adopts positive piezoelectric effect, and synchronously vibrates with the viscous damping ring by being bonded to the surface of the support ring inner ring. When the support ring inner ring vibrates or deforms, the piezoelectric fiber sensor generates corresponding electric charge and outputs to the controller. The greater the deformation of the support ring inner ring, the more electric charge is generated, so that the controller can detect the deformation and stress of the isolator.

[0040] The piezoelectric fiber actuator is of P1 type, and utilizes inverse piezoelectric effect. Each piezoelectric fiber actuator is bonded to the surface of the support ring outer ring in an extendable and retractable manner. After the controller receives the vibration signal sent by the piezoelectric fiber sensor, a certain voltage is loaded to the piezoelectric fiber actuator to make the piezoelectric fiber actuator elongate or contract, and drive the support ring outer ring to deform by being bonded to the surface of the support ring outer ring. The piezoelectric fiber has the characteristics of large displacement stroke and fast response, so when the vibration occurs, the piezoelectric fiber actuator can quickly generate deformation in the opposite phase of the vibration and drive the support ring outer ring to deform, thereby canceling the vibration and achieving the effect of active vibration suppression.

[0041] The viscous damping ring is distributed between the support ring inner ring and the support ring outer ring, and forms an active constrained layer damping structure in combination with the piezoelectric fiber sensor and the piezoelectric fiber actuator. When the vibration occurs, in addition to passive damping of the viscous damping ring, the active damping of the active constrained layer damping structure can increase the deformation of the damping structure, thereby increasing energy dissipation and achieving rapid suppression of the vibration.

[0042] The isolator of the embodiment adopts the strategy of combining active vibration control and passive vibration control for damping, has strong flexibility and environmental adaptability, wide controllable frequency band, fast response speed, flexible control algorithm selection, good control effect, and can be widely applied at least in the field of structural vibration and noise control.

[0043] Meanwhile, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In the above embodiment, the controller 6 comprises a signal acquisition unit 61, a control algorithm unit 62 and a signal amplification unit 63. One end of the signal acquisition unit 61 is in communication connection with the piezoelectric fiber sensor 41, and the other end is in communication connection with the input end of the control algorithm unit 62. The output end of the control algorithm unit is in communication connection with the piezoelectric fiber actuator 51 through the signal amplification unit 63. When vibration occurs, the viscous damping vibration ring 1 shears and deforms and consumes part of the vibration energy. At the same time, the piezoelectric fiber sensor 41 detects the vibration physical quantity of the vibration isolator structure, and then converts it into an electrical signal which is detected by the signal acquisition unit 61 in the controller. Under the action of the control algorithm unit 62, a control instruction signal is generated. The control instruction signal is transmitted to the piezoelectric fiber actuator 51 after passing through the signal amplification unit 63. The piezoelectric fiber actuator 51 generates a control force or torque and acts on the support ring outer circle 2 and the viscous damping vibration ring 1, so as to further strengthen the shear deformation of the support ring outer circle 1 and enhance the damping force of the active constraint layer damping structure, thereby improving the vibration energy dissipation capability.

[0044] The vibration isolator of the embodiment of the utility model can achieve a wider vibration suppression frequency band under the joint action of low-frequency vibration suppression of the active control algorithm and high-frequency vibration suppression of the viscoelastic material, and the vibration suppression effect is better. The vibration isolator of the utility model increases the stability and robustness of the active control system under the action of the damping structure. Even if the active action fails and the active constraint damping structure degenerates into a passive constraint damping structure, the system can still maintain the passive constraint damping effect, and the vibration isolator still has a certain vibration suppression function.

[0045] The vibration isolator of the embodiment of the utility model takes the NI board card as a data acquisition module, and the board card has A / D and D / A conversion functions. The control algorithm unit can select an AMD piezoelectric fiber controller which can output a voltage output of-500V to 1500V. The signal amplification unit selects a smartCharge board card type charge amplifier which can monitor the deformation information of the piezoelectric fiber.

[0046] Referring to Figure 3 In one embodiment, in order to ensure the accuracy of the collected vibration signal and the timeliness and effectiveness of the active vibration suppression, the number of piezoelectric fiber sensors 41 and piezoelectric fiber actuators 51 can be set to be the same. For example, six piezoelectric fiber sensors are arranged, and six piezoelectric fiber actuators are also arranged.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 In the above embodiment, the vibration isolator of the utility model further comprises an energy component 8 connected with the acquisition unit 4, the actuation unit 5 and the control unit 6 respectively. The energy component 8 is used for providing energy for the acquisition unit 4, the actuation unit 5 and the control unit 6.

[0048] Referring to Figure 2In any one of the above embodiments, in order to facilitate the fixing connection of the vibration isolator of the utility model with other equipment, the connector 7 can be arranged on the outer ring 2 of the support ring. The connector of the embodiment can be arranged in two, and the two connectors 7 are oppositely arranged on the radial sides of the outer ring 2 of the support ring.

[0049] Figure 4 The acceleration response curve contrast diagram of the input and output points of the control unit of the vibration isolator of the utility model is shown in the figure. In the figure, the first half of the curve is the acceleration response curve before the control unit is connected, and the second half of the curve is the acceleration response curve after the control unit is connected. It can be seen from the figure that the amplitude of the vibration acceleration amplitude has a significant decrease after the control unit is connected.

[0050] The above embodiments can be combined with each other and have corresponding technical effects.

[0051] The vibration isolator of the utility model adopts the design scheme of combining active vibration isolation and passive vibration isolation, can passively suppress vibration through the damping structure, and can actively suppress vibration through the actuator. The active and passive combination has better adaptability. Under the joint action of the low-frequency vibration suppression of active control and the high-frequency vibration suppression of viscoelastic material, the vibration isolator of the utility model can effectively suppress vibration in a wide frequency range.

[0052] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
